Her mother had left for a visit to a neighbor's house, 1 and upon .hey return home found her < home in flames. "Save Mildred," implored Mrs. 1 Smith- "My baby is aslefep in a room on the second floor " She ran 1 to the front door and found it locked, i She could not find the key awd as she t *" broke a window clouds of smoke forced her back. Neighbors tried to i quiet herIn the meanwhile, others tried to | enter the blazing house;- but were beaten back by the flames- Attract- < ed by the excitement, Franjc Smith, . " ran several blocks to the -fire- When he saw his home in flames he col- i lapsed- i Obtaining a ladder from a nearby home. Professor Earl Witmer, of 1 Quakertown, Pa., a- teacher in , the t Middle Township HigtLScliool,- placed c it against the rear of the"6urning i btiilding. He found the flames had 1 eaten a large hole in the floor between the window and the child's bed- t He was unable to reach her. A few f minutes later the entire second floor <#11. ■ The parents became hysterical and 1 were taken to the homes of neigh- i bors. A brisk wind swept the flames, toward the other half of Qie_ twin house, and from there to the adjoin- , ing twin house.

She wrappethe baby in a blanket and carried him - thrdhgh the smoke-filled house to safety. Mrs. Smith suffered slight ' burns when she atempted to dYag blazing furniture from the homeThe homes were -owned by the Cape May Glass Company- The fire is believed to have been caused by an over-heated oil stove. Y STUDEBAKERS AT >AIR One. of the main attractions in the motor world at the Cape May. Cobnt ty Fair was the exhibit' of Studebaker cjjrs . ©adp bv P.ierpont . and Brown,- of Wijdwood- Not only was the display attractive -'because of the many different types of. bodies shown- but the cars made a hit. . The exhibit made an impression " which resulted in several sales and possibly one -of the reason? for the successfulness of the salesmen was the fact that the Studebakyr cars .recently took a-4gcjded and unexpected drop of $200.
